hi everybody welcome back to my channel
in today's video I want to talk about
some easy ways you can always look chic
or put together or polished whatever
your goal is these are some of the tips
that can help you look your best every
single day with very little effort so
let's get started first up is to stick
to no more than three colors in your
outfit now of course this is a very
general rule but in my experience three
colors is a really good sweet spot it
ensures that you have some variety in
your outfit so it's not all drab not a
little too lifeless but it also prevents
it from going a little too overboard so
you don't feel overpowered by your
clothing and by sticking to this you
look very thoughtful it looks like you
know exactly what you're doing so to
make it really simple I like to pair two
neutrals with one accent color the
neutrals ensure that I have a really
firm base to my outfit and the accent
color gives me a little personality so
because of my personal style my personal
preference my base colors tend to be
black white grey camel or navy and then
my accent colors are maroon or a
burgundy color and then typically a
little bit of a green sometimes and then
a lighter blue and all of that plays
very nicely together and when I stick to
the rule of threes when it comes to
color I can mix and match endlessly and
never feel overwhelmed and always look
chic
next is to not ignore accessories we
spend a lot of time cultivating our
closets and really focusing on basics
that we can wear t-shirts and
button-downs and great pair of jeans but
when it comes down to it the things that
really make an outfit and the things
that transform your personal style and
really set you apart are accessories so
things like scarves great earrings watch
rings your favorite barrette or hair
accessory maybe a hat they're all at our
disposal and there are things that
really can be the missing piece to a
great outfit so I know that when I get
dressed and I put on my basics and I'm
feeling okay about my outfit I really
feel fantastic about my outfit the
second I add an accessory so I have
quite a few in my wardrobe and I
recommend building that for yourself and
really trying to pinpoint what those are
for you whether that's a hairpiece or
hat or maybe a great scarf or two and
then just have fun with them really use
them to enhance your personal style next
is to wear at least two textures in
every outfit this is especially helpful
if you really love to wear the same
color all from head to toe and
monochromatic outfits are really your
thing then I think you'll really love
this one by just changing up the texture
of one piece you add visual interest and
your outfit goes from a little bit
monotonous to really great and I really
love to do this with textures like
chunky knits and denim and leather and
faux leather and faux fur and just
things that add that pop to your outfit
are wonderful even something as simple
as wearing a basic sweater like I am
today and then adding a different
texture and a hair accessory or a silk
scarf that juxtaposition really makes
your outfit look great and I love using
that so anytime I'm stuck on what to
wear I will pick the same color in my
top and my bottom and then change up the
texture and at least one of them
it never fails this next one is probably
my favorite tip from this entire video
and that is to plan your outfits now
when I started doing this for my
personal style it completely transformed
things I not only felt better about the
clothes that I had but I was able to put
together really great outfits in a pinch
so I definitely recommend spending the
time to go on Pinterest and search for
some of your favorite wardrobe pieces
maybe it's a white shirt a great pair of
jeans and then save a bunch of those
images and then play around with them
with your own closet and snap pictures
of anything that's really fantastic save
it in a folder on your phone and when
you go to get dressed and you're feeling
stuck go back to those pictures and you
will have at your disposal such an
amazing selection of outfits it is so
beneficial I cannot tell you the
improvement that it had and I definitely
encourage you to do the same in my
experience shoes really have the ability
to transform an outfit so I have a
couple outfit formulas that I rely on
things like a t-shirt and jeans and just
by changing out my shoes I changed the
whole vibe of that outfit so my tip is
to swap casual shoes for a more dressy
shoe or something a little bit more
polished so instead of a sneaker maybe
something that you wear all the time and
something that's maybe nearing the end
of its life it's looking a little
tattered swap that for a polished loafer
or a really great ballet flat or a
slingback something that's got a really
delicate heel but it's just enough to
really take your outfit to the next
level sometimes it's all you need to
transform how you're looking at your
wardrobe and it's one of my favorite
tips it's something I'm trying to get
better at doing myself because every
time I do it I'm so happy with the
results
[Music]
keeping your outfits proportioned and
balanced to you and your personal frame
is so important to making sure that you
look chic every day and it's something
that you have a lot of control over so
my recommendation is twofold the first
is to play around with your proportions
maybe instead of pairing your your same
slim blazer with slim pants maybe swap
the slim pants for a looser fitting
trouser it's something with a higher
waist and really trick the eye that way
and have fun experimenting with those
and then the second part is to never
forget that a tailor is always at your
disposal and tailors or if you sew on
your own have the ability to really
transform things and play with
proportions on a piece you already have
in your closet so just by maybe adding
shoulder pads or taking the sleeves up
or bringing the waist in slightly on
something maybe rising the hem or
letting out the hem are really helpful
ways to trick the eye and play with how
things look in your closet so you can
take your same basic sweater that you
love but pairing it with pants that have
a longer length and maybe a higher rise
can really transform how you look at
that piece
next is to iron and steam your clothing
now I know that this is incredibly
boring and unless you really like
ironing this is going to be the least
enjoyable part of getting dressed I
think but it is a very important part of
making sure that your outfit looks great
and that you look chic every day but as
soon as you take the time to ensure that
there aren't any heavy creasing or
wrinkles in your outfits
it really just hangs nicer on your body
I think it makes a big difference and I
always feel better when I've taken the
time to do that for myself it's a nice
little personal pair routine that I've
added into getting dressed now along
those same lines I encourage you not to
get bogged down by this and don't let it
become overwhelming don't feel like you
can't wear certain fabrics because they
do crease and certainly don't feel like
you can't sit down and live life for
fear of wrinkles definitely embrace all
that life gives you but definitely take
the time when you first get dressed to
ensure that everything just looks the
best as it possibly can
when all is said and done the difference
between an alpha that you love and an
outfit that you're like yeah soso about
is down to the styling you can be
wearing the exact same thing as someone
else and it will look completely
different just on how you've styled it
on your own personal body with your own
personal tastes so my recommendation is
to never neglect styling things like
rolling the sleeves or maybe popping
your collar tucking things in or belting
things wearing things really loose and
oversized these are all things that we
have in our control and they're all
things that make your outfits a very
thoughtful there are things that
translate directly into your personal
style and when people look at you they
see all of those thoughtful touches they
might not register every single one
together but they'll see the whole
picture and read wow she really
understands what works for her what she
loves and what makes her feel great and
I think that makes you radiate and when
you do that I think people just want to
be near you they admire your style and
all those wonderful things that we look
for so I definitely recommend spending
time playing around with styling and
finding a couple things that you can
rely on to really take your outfit to
the next level and there you have it
those are some easy ways to look chic
every single day I hope that you like
this and it inspired you and maybe gave
you some things you can do the next time
you get dressed and like always thank
you so much for watching and I'll see
you my next one have a great day
